Howard County Council adopted a confirmatory abatement resolution for Merrill Brothers on second reading during its February monthly meeting.
The auditor read Howard County Council Resolution number 20 26 HCCR‑02 by title as a confirmatory resolution designating an economic revitalization area for Merrill Brothers. The council had passed an initial reading at a prior meeting; the confirmatory second reading was presented and then approved after a motion and second. Company representatives Carson and Alex attended and told the council they were "very thankful" for the consideration.
The resolution was read by title only in accordance with procedure for second reading and the council voted to adopt the measure; the transcript records the motion, second and presiding officer announcing adoption but does not provide a roll‑call tally of individual votes in the record.
Next steps: adoption completes the council’s local confirmatory step for the economic revitalization area. Any subsequent tax abatement, filing or contract steps will follow the county’s administrative process and any applicable state filings.
